CS:GO Discussion

I have to say that my initial impressions were clouded by nostalgia, I had a great few hours playing old classic maps but it didn't feel quite right.

Too much bloom and lighting effects, granted they want to use the source engine to its best, but it just puts me off.

The guns seem, well, awful. They've completely ruined the rifles. I freely admit that my aim is rusty as I haven't played an fps for a while, but its just flat out ruined. It seems to me from my few hours in the beta, that you can happily spam away with the SMGs, but try aiming vs ones of those in a 1 on 1 with the rifles and you're on a losing battle.

The AK/Colt in particular just don't feel right. Maybe I'm asking for too much, but I wanted them to feel like the CS AK/Colt. One bullet sniping just isn'tworking for me now - not sure if its my connection or what but everything seems a lot more random.

The pistols seem crap. Plain crap.

The AWP feels...weird. Nowhere near as bad as the Source awp, but it just feels weird.

No USP, no MP-5 :(.

The engine is dated. Horribly dated. This long in development and they haven't improved any of it?

It's in for release :).
 
tbh i like the basic graphics in the game. As a competitive game i love the simple look as it puts more focus on the gameplay. I cant stand the new call of duty and battlefield games as there is far too much going on in the level design.

Agreed. BF3 looks horribly cluttered. I'd be happy CS:GO looked even less busy - at times I can barely see people when they're at the other side of the tunnels in dust and crouching behind a car.
 
engine dated? does anyone complain about mario or tetris? don't go fussing over the engine, worry about making it a good game that's all. i'm loving it so far. the new maps are fun and this demo mode is great EXCEPT every time i get close to unlocking the pro guns at the end it bloody changes my team and i gotta start again
 
SMG vs rifles close range, smg probably has the upperhand yep, but if you try using a smg mid range such as the UMP vs an AK or M4 then your in for a surprise cause they are useless

So overall gameplay worth it? not worth it?

I'm a big Zombie Mod fan especially Zombie escape.

it's only a tenner and I'm sure there will be some mods that you can get your moneys worth from it but as a counter strike title it really is the worst one to date if were talking about staying true to the franchise but it's still decent fun

It's not the graphics that bother me, it just that it feels a bit weird. Point and shoot doesn't always feel like its working, as I said above I'm not sure if thats network connetion, settings, or what.

Just another post from a uber pro 1.6 player that got owned on their first go at GO imo.

I even took time of out my uber pro schedule to say I was rusty. I'm sure by tonight I'll be back to headshotting people with my eyes closed, don't you worry.

Might be the smaller hitboxs?
 
The textures are very good but obviously with the limitations of the game engine, we're not likely to see the sort of destruction and effects you get in BF3. Not that it needs it really, its a more straight forward game & makes a nice change.
 
CS doesn't need fancy destruction and levels, kill streaks etc to make it good, the one thing I like about it is the simplicity cause you can just pick up and play

Might be the tagging (specifically, lack of it)? See some of the threads on it here: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2892165

The main change from CSS is the smaller hitboxes. This, combined with the lack of tagging means that body shots are often worthless. I really do hope they implement some of the things in that thread ^. The first thing to do is to make a load of graphic cvars not cheat protected - I hope they do this on release! :)
